The Firs

The Firs is a house that dates back to the late medieval period and was extended in the 19th century. It features a timber frame with plaster and is roofed with a mix of red and blue clay pantiles. The building has a two-bay hall facing west, which includes an inserted stack from around 1600 in the left bay against the rear wall. To the left is a service bay, and to the right is a parlour or solar bay. There are two 19th-century extensions: a single-storey extension at the rear of the right end and a lean-to extension in the left rear corner, both made of red brick with slate roofs.

The house is one storey high with attics and has three 20th-century casement windows, along with four more in segmental-roofed dormers. A 20th-century door is located in front of a gabled porch. The structure features jowled posts and heavy studding, although some internal tiebeams are missing or severed. The left bay, originally an unstoreyed service bay, has an inserted floor from around 1600, which includes a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of horizontal section. The wood-burning hearth in this bay has been reduced for a 20th-century grate.

In the hall, the studding at the right end is exposed, showing a series of scribed carpenter's assembly marks and peg-holes for a fixed bench. There is a large wood-burning hearth made of 330mm brickwork. The floor consists of longitudinal chamfered joists of horizontal section with plain stops, which were formerly jointed into a transverse beam at the left end and lodged at the right end, but are now raised above their original position. The roof has not been inspected but is reported to have been rebuilt. The exterior was weatherboarded until 1973, which is inscribed in the plaster of the left gable.
